I've been using pdf.js almost exclusively for the past few years either via Firefox or VS Code, and I've never really had any problems. The only real issue that I've had is that it gets fairly slow with documents over a few thousand pages long. Otherwise, it seems pretty fast and stable, and it supports nearly every feature that I tend to need.
I have never used firefox to display pdf files. I just tried it and find that it has an interesting feature of caching rendered pages. Pages with complicated graphics (think MetaPost with hundreds of thousands of objects) get rendered pretty quickly, although one can see the very many objects being drawn the first time the page is displayed. Subsequently displays of these pages have no lag whatsoever. Alan
